Waterfront events and boat parades in Oakland Park
Waterfront park events in Oakland Park run off a small stage with a vendor row, and the restrooms are the whole plan. Delivery for an Oakland Park waterfront event happens the day before, because the site fills with vendors at dawn. We walk an Oakland Park event site with the organizer and mark the spots, since the truck gets one clean run in.
Power and lighting at Oakland Park evening events run off generators, and we keep well clear of the cable runs. Wind off the water at Oakland Park events will move anything that is not weighted, tents and units alike. Weekend work happens in Oakland Park, and Saturday service is part of the normal week.
Working the bridges over the Oakland Park canals
The canal crossings in Oakland Park carry more traffic than they were designed for, and the approach slabs are the first thing to go. Units on an Oakland Park bridge project sit on the shoulder with cones and a clear walking route back to the deck. For Oakland Park crossings we deliver before the lane closure goes in, because after that the approach is one-way only.
Rain shuts an Oakland Park deck pour down fast, and the site then sits idle until the forms dry out. A short call about the Oakland Park approach saves an hour on delivery day.
King tides and flooding in Oakland Park
Once a storm is named, every Oakland Park waterfront site has to be cleared, and that includes the restrooms. We pull units off exposed Oakland Park sites ahead of a named storm and bring them back once the roads reopen. Units returning to Oakland Park after a storm often go to a different spot, because the site itself has changed.
The ground in Oakland Park stays saturated for weeks after a wet season storm, and nothing heavy crosses the swale. Availability in Oakland Park is tightest in the winter build season, so early notice helps.
